Following more people to gain more followers is a good idea. I will start adopting it now !! Thanks for this strategy, but you are saying that here we can not increase fake followers like on instagram !! I doubt it because people are using steemfollower.com . I don't want fake followers so I never use it, but they say it can give you many followers. Just got reminded of it when you spoke about fake followers. I don't want steem to become like instagram so a little concerned about it. Hope someone looks after this steemfollower thing. Thank you firepower for all your support and such helpful strategies.

For increasing traffic on steemit I believe that we all should support only the talented people here. Sometimes people only upvote those people back who vote them first or keep them upvoting for long time. If this continues to happen, steemit won't remain an attraction for the talented ones because any group of people can come here, support each other no matter what they upload here is qualitative or not !! People ask me as well to make a deal with them to upvote each other's post. I find it very irritating and it can harm steemit's image I believe.

Thanks for posting this :)
